About Us

About AEA

American Earth Anchors, located in Franklin, Massachusetts, was established in 2001. Beginning as a one-man show in a basement, it soon took off and the company began designing and manufacturing earth anchors for commercial, residential, and military markets. Within three years the anchor line expanded from Arrowheads, to Bullets, to the renowned Penetrator™.

AEA’s high-quality, industrial-strength ground anchors and installation accessories, along with their Quickvise/Quickgrip cable terminations, are used across a variety of industries to secure and stabilize everything from sheds to retaining walls, to portable shelters, erosion control matting and solar arrays.

We pride ourselves on great customer service, fast shipping and competitive pricing and believe no order is too big or too small with shipping available worldwide.

We welcome international distribution inquiries.

Thanks for a wonderful product. The Penetrator anchors worked very well in rocky conditions. Used a little beaver auger to drive the anchors in a fairly steep grade. I have 3-4 decks to build this summer and will be sure to use your product. Great time saver.
